FUTURE.

Now that the rain visits the Nevada
soil during the Summer months it is
safe to predict a great future for her.
All along the mountain sides where
nothing in the shape of grass could be
seen ten years ago, says the Nevada
Tribune, good feed for cattle is found
and every season the crops improve,
and now, without irrigation, in many
places where only bare sand could be
found bunch grass is springing up. On
the hills denuded Of timber, land given
up as worthless, is now producing feed
for numerous herds of cattle and year
after year gives better prospects. It
only needs effort and the use of capital
to make Nevada one at the best States
in the Union, not only in point of min.
eral wealth, but agriculturally. It is
acknowledged all over North America
that Nevada produces the best beef,
the best potatoes and most precious
metal and yet it has been abused as a
slow-going country, and for what Be.
cause those who have drawn wealth
from the mines have spent their money
in California, New York or Europe,
whereas had they done as they ought all
the good sage.land of our valleys would
now be producing grain that would
astonish the world.
1t lie not too late to assist nature in
making Nevada an agricultural State;
not too late to join together in tapping
Lake Tahoe; not too late to form joint
stock companies. to assist in the develop.
ment of the scores of mineral. bearing
lodges all through the State; no, not too
late to make the Silver State the wonder
and admiration of the world. 1t needs
capital, and surely if every man shows a
willingness to contribute his mite money
sufficient for all developments will soon
accumulate. There is q grand future for
Nevada if her people are true to them.

SHALL FEMALE MUBDERERS
Raz RE HANGED?

The thought of Mrs. CHAR Cignarale
lying sick with terror in the Tombs
prison, New York, awaiting in utter
misery Of mind and body the day OF her
execution, upon the gallows, is at once
wretched and pathetic; and yet there is
no reason of law or justice that should
suspend the edict of the Court that she
shall die. While the press Of the coun-
try is discussing her case in all its bear
ings, that portion of it which is shocked
at the thought of executing q woman
gives no reason for setting up different
penalties for male and female felons.
Mrs. Cignarale has been convicted, in
spite of the best legal defense, after q
fair and impartial trial, of Che crime Of
numbering her husband, and of murder
ing him because he was in the way OF
illicit amours with a paramour. She has
violated, thus, the highest divine, as well
as the highest human law. In her own
country, among her own class OF people,
her life might have expiated her first
crime, and common opinion would have
declared her slayer guiltless. Compare
the case Of Mrs. Druse, the last woman
to die on the scaffold for murder. She
had been brutalized by the man she
killed. He married her when a mere
child, and it was his influence that made
of the woman who once possessed all the
instincts Of womanhood the beast that
turned upon him and avenged a lifetime
wrong. Mrs. Druse was executed for
her crime, and she deserved to die-not
because society desired to be avenged
for the death of her husband, but be.
cause only by her death could society
protect itself from the recurrence OF
similar crimes.
Mrs. Cignarale is at least as guilty as
Mrs. Druse, according to all the evidence
that has thus far been adduced; and the
fact that she is now sick and devoured
by fear, does not in the least p%alliate her
crime. Let US have one penalty for
willful murder-death; and let men and
women alike be subject to it.-Enter.

Preserving Celery,
S. Powers.

A Connecticut market gardner writes:
Celery will bear a temperature of twenty
degrees and unblanched ten degrees, but
stree blaDching is easier ss the tempera'
tuIe lie higher, moderation to forty de-
gIees is found to be the best preservation.
Therefore, dispose of all celery to its keep
ing place in this latitude by the Goth of
November. We must be governed in ths
selection of the place by necessity for
moisture, that it may not consume its own
vitality, and yet not sufficient to drip
which would cause decay. We are now
met by a new difficulty, an ungovernable
temperature by contact in mass, and on
our disposition of this hangs our success.
Whatever may be our place our aim must
be to break up the mass, and as 1t Is Sepa-
rated by the cooling or airable contact of
material, SO is the length OF time that
celery may be kept. The pit is used
equally with the cellar and blanching
house, and is dug where water will not
settle, and from two to three feet deep,
about the width of the spade, when the
time of storage is simply for the winter
months, but if later into the summer 1t
must be sufficiently narrow to admit
is then set upright, packing as
closely along the pit as il can
be crowded. 1t is then roofed over With
boards, leaving space above the p,anks
for the circulation of air, aud occasion ally
an opening for ventilation in a manner to
exclude the light and not enough to de-
cline the temperature. The boards are we'll
covered with earth. The same principles
must be followed in the cellar and blanch-
ing house. Boards set on edge or held
edgewise in some manner, little up from
the earth, to admit of space for air to
circulate, running across the cellar atevery
ten inches, more or less as to time to be &C.
cupied. Then the celery is packed up
right and closely as in the pit. Circulation
and temperature must be maintained with
the exclusion of light by an air chamber
from the exterior and another to the top
as ventilator, both being provided with
cutoff for regulation. Some may deem
it expedIent from a local cause to remove
celery from the field 10 the storage, retain
ing bail of earth, and am inclined to
think that ii retains in this way its nutty
flavor, yet it is much more difficult to
blanch.

How Sheep Make Money.
Rural Spirit.


a correspondent writes "In the winter
OF 1885 lady finding ii necessary to in

a way. AS she had some land it was pro-
posed to take flock of sheep to double, as
has been the custom in some parts Of the
country. Itwas at once seen that to take
thsep to double in four years was giving
an outrageous percentage. Finally, in Jam
uary of that year, a flock of thirty-seven
"culls," which had been thrown out OF
several car loads, were brought into the
neighborhood for SALE A neighbor loaned
her the money, and purchased them at

of them died, and in the spring only ten
lambs were raised, but she sold that season

pay the purchase money aad interest, re-

sales were 500, still keeping the same num-

the thirty-three sheep left are worth 81 q

out entirely, and the lady has as fine q
